My daughter has a wonderful Leurcher, shes on here but with 4 children and five dogs no time. THey have thin skin so tear easily, one of our guests nearly lost his when he tore his skin out walking!! I would have loads of dogs if we had a different life, not doing too bad with 4 labs but the Patterdale we had WAS a handful!!!

Poor Sonny. He looks like butter wouldn't melt but he obviously extracted his revenge  ;D

he is a great dual purpose dog ie such a laid back pet, yet as soon as its time for work he turns into Charles Bronson

He's lovely! My first 'running dog' was a black ex racing greyhound called Sonny (only had him 2 months-he died of leptospirosis -Damned rats!) & he was vaccinated, there was no looking back & my next dog was a fawn & white whippet, so lots of memories brought back by your Sonny
